"Ethan! What do you mean by this? I heard you yelling from down the hall! Why are you shouting? Can’t you see that my daughter is in the hospital? Ethan, you're just married her and you’re already showing your true colors, huh?"
My father-in-law anxiously looked at Hannah. "Sweetheart, are you okay?"
"Dad, I'm fine. It's just a small issue and I just need some rest. But Ethan keeps making a fuss. He's giving me a headache."
Hearing this, I let out a cold laugh.
The next second, my mother-in-law's palm came swinging toward me.
"Ethan! What are you laughing at? Do you still have the nerve to laugh? If my daughter hadn’t been in such a rush to come back and try on her wedding dress, would she have ended up in the hospital?"
I chuckled bitterly. "Yeah… how would she have ended up in the hospital?"
My mother-in-law didn’t catch the hidden meaning in my words.
She was still trying to haggle.
"Ethan, let me tell you, because of this incident, you have to add another thousand dollars to the bride price! My daughter ended up in the hospital, shouldn't you at least compensate her with two or three thousand dollars?"
"Do you even know why she’s in the hospital? She spent seven days and nights with her ex-boyfriend! She ended up here because of a perineal tear! And you expect me to pay her medical bills? Pay for what?"
My mother-in-law took a step back, staring at me in disbelief.
Then she turned to look at Hannah on the hospital bed.
At that moment, my parents also rushed in.
Hannah held her waist as she swung her legs off the bed.
“Ethan, don't be so unreasonable. I've already explained everything to you, haven't I? It’s just a little celebration. What's wrong with me having some fun with Caleb? We were just saying our final goodbye."
Her mother chimed in, "Exactly, don't push your luck."
Hannah continued, "We just booked a hotel room, that's all. Do you really have to be this mad?"
The moment those words left her lips, the temperature in the room plummeted.
Her mother had been about to agree, but suddenly, her smile vanished.
"You… you… what are you saying?" She grabbed Hannah, but Hannah shook her off.
"Mom, be gentle. My whole body hurts right now."
She tossed the diagnosis report aside. "Can't you see I'm sick? I'm in so much pain."
My parents were panting heavily, my mother clutching her chest repeatedly.
"How can you be so shameless? You're just married my son!"
